Stop Calling Him "Garry"
So, the meeting today was a ho-hum affair. Mr. McMcarthy has been released for street duty (post heart attack meds had kept him off the streets) and he will be making appearances at Roll Call, VRI, outdoor media circuses, hot calls and killings.
The hat-and-tat order is to be enforced mercilessly.
And if you see Mr. McCarthy eating breakfast, DO NOT call out, "Hi Garry!"
Yes, that was the big news. Mr. McCarthy objected strenuously to being addressed so while he was out dining recently. Familiarity breeds contempt and since Mr. McCarthy is from New York and already has contempt for the hicks in Chicago, he doesn't want any familiarity from the troops.
Now granted, we take liberties here with our sarcastic outlook, nicknaming just about everyone we can lay a glove on, but if we ran into the Supe off duty, or even on-duty as we have for awards, parades, shootings, NATO, etc, we're at the very least respectfully silent and if addressed or saluted and told "Congratulations" at a ceremony, we reply, "Thank you Sir," just because that's what you do. We save our vitriol forthe bar ...the ice cream social.

He gone
Wow, SOMEONE's ego has gotten too big to make it through the doorframe. (Happily retired, I'll call him Garry any time I encounter him now. I'll shout it across the room!)
But here, he's now officially McFatEgo. Waaaaaaay too full of himself.
How many times do I have to tell you fucken idiots!!! Overall crime is down by 7%
McNutty (Garry)
Can we low-life peasants and serfs still address our public servants (Lords and Masters) like that? Or will his security detail protect him from scum like us and our undue familiarity?
GARRRRYYYYY!!!!! LMAO!!
OT - Okay so I have to ask; the city has an ordinance that says bicycles can't be ridden by anyone on the sidewalk in the central business district, right? Then why in world would they put the divy bike racks on the sidewalk and not post any type of warnings to users that the bikes aren't to be ridden on the sidewalk? The same goes for skateboarding in the central business district, not allowed, yet they put a large skatepark in Grant park. Did they really think that the skateboarders were going to walk with their boards to the park from the business district parking garages or college resident halls? Add this to all the clueless tourists on those goofy segway tours snaking threw the crowds and it makes it safer walking in the street than a downtown sidewalk.
I guess being a failure is making our boy very irritable.
Fuck him. He ain't nothing but a puppet. Muthafucker thinks he's Gods gift to the CPD. Wish the 189 officer would've fucked him up that night at the Xmas party a few years back. My money would have definately been on the 189 officer. I refuse to go to award ceremonies just to avoid his arrogance
Hi Garry! That is funny as hell
I refuse to go to any ceremony given by Gary! Just mail my Dept. Commendation to me and buzz off garry!
Good to know where we stand! Instead of calling or saying hello to him, I will say nothing, go in the opposite direction from him and think what an Asshole he is and do no activity for him! Zero proactive policing!
He is a total GOOF! He deserves no respect and I cannot show him any! He still cannot understand how someone was killed in the area of his GI Joe sweep of the two blocks on Grenshaw. He now has to get on his favorite top commander and that makes him very upset. He told everyone including the news that this was now a safe community and that gangs, drugs and murders were a thing of the past. His claim to fame is how he and his merry men cleaned up whole areas of New York by compost ideas and these areas strive today. He claims homicides dropped from 120 to 0 because of his compost ideas. Gar maybe it was the two billion dollars that was sunk into the area that pushed the garbage out. Gar you would be hard pressed to find anyone in the world to invest 2 billion in the areas on Grenshaw. Gar you are an embarrassment! Please leave and take Dick Tracy and your Compost book with you!!!!!!!
This loser should have been fired!!! Long time ago . He is Emmanuel bitch !
Not a friendly man.
Gary...Gary...Gary.
As for the contempt part, that ship has sailed.
I have nothing but contempt for you.
Take your failed strategies and leave town Mr. McCarthy!
As a civilian I can promise you that I will give him a loud "Hi Garry" the next time I run across him.
Thank God he is cleared for street duty. Now he can take Cupich on the ride along that Sneed says he requested. The two of them and perhaps 6 vehicles,media, lights flashing can stop off at St Sabina for some discussion on lowering crime
It's about respect. You call nobody by their first name without permission.
Only Cooter can call him Garry.
What a tool, this guy has got to be the biggest turd ever. It's obvious that no one has any respect for him, the right thing for him to do is resign and leave town. When you have to address the fact that the troops disrespect you in public, you have lost all control. And he can go screw himself on this hat and tat policy, want's us to look more "professional" but I have to drive a squad car with a 153,000 miles on it and literally no paint on the hood, roof and trunk. Yeah real professional looking department we have driving around in ghetto looking whips that look like absolute shit. This guy is all over the place someone needs to send him for a mental evaluation.
"Don't call me Garry!"
"OK, Garry."
Didn't like it because he was out dining? What a POS. Fuck him. And his McCrappy Accent.
--No Cop Here
Maybe the proper way to address him with should be, you still work here?
In the NYPD, saluting is the norm. Not just saluting command officers such as lieutenants and above, but also sergeants. And, when the commissioner enters a room, everybody jumps to attention. Reminds me of my time in the army when the unit commander entered the briefing room. And, it is about time that sergeants were given more responsibilities and more respect.
I'm torn. On one hand, McCarthy sucks as chief and needs to be fired. On the other hand, he's still the Supe and thus deserves a Sir. It's the rank, not the person.
Take it easy Francis.
What a dummy! Now almost every Officer that sees him will call him Garry and take the hit just to piss him off and have a war story to tell. This guy isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, is he? (Rhetorical question)
Hi Garry, Garry, Garry, Garry, Garry! This is going to be fun. LOL
The Lord humongous. The warrior of the wasteland. The ayatollah of rock a rolla
Garry, what do you think, you are royalty?
I don't know the prick so when i pass him he is just another clouted hack that will be gone in a few years! Anybody seen JODY Im surprised SHenckel is still on the city slush fund.
Gunnery Sgt McCarthy must of been reading the Hollywood script for Full Metal Jacket..
I had a shop teacher like that in H.S.
You will address me beginning and ending with the word 'sir'
Sir McCarthy Sir
Losing his swagger so must compensate.
Correct greeting: "Hi ASS-HAT"!
The hat and tat order to be enforced mercilessly? Really? All because of some silly certification acronym that we've done just fine without?
This place is loony tunes.
I always thought, "HEY ASSHOLE!" was much more appropriate.
I always told the troops never call him Mr. Superintendent.
Mr. McCarthy would do just fine.
I would never call him Garry but I think Asshat would be appropriate.
The hat-and-tat order is to be enforced mercilessly.
We are, without a doubt, the laughingstock of credible police agencies in this country..... thanks Garry!!
but you can call me Al.....and I will be your pal.....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULjCSK0oOlI
No, "Hi, Garry?" Well, that's OK; I was just going with "Hey, bunionhead!" anyway.
Just to be safe.
Hi Garry, you MUSH HEAD.
The Sup. is an old fashioned gentleman.
Who calls him Garry? I've heard him called a lot of things but not Garry.
Leadership 101, Respect is earned. Not by being a drunk obnoxious morally bankrupt skirt chaser.
He didn't earn that CPD rank.!!!!!!!!!!
Garry / Masters! Garry / Masters! Garry / Masters! Garry / Masters! etc...........
What does name calling accomplish in the first place? And like me I post this as "Anonymous".
What's next-"Sticks and stones..."?
I have a Garry tattoo on my buttocks.
Alright, take it easy Francis!
I miss Jody (sob).
I'll treat him like all other supervisors, pretend not to see you and don't say shit to you!
Whatever....
He's doing just fine. Emanuel brought him here to swing an axe and downsize. They can just lie about the actual crime.
And oh yeah, fuck you!
Fund my pension.
He's lucky that was all he was cllaed in public. You cannot demand respect. It is earned. 0

Yes, sometimes we are, but not for any of these uniforms orders of the superintendent. Just look at how other departments comport themselves and their uniform standards. You will not see these outside vest covers in many big cities and you will see them wear crown caps at all times.

Maybe. But, name one superintendent in the past 25 years who was better and did a better job?
I was taught to respect the rank not the man. Any time I see him,which is frequent a simple,respectful Hello Supe is my usual greeting. I totally agree with him, especially if some 24 yr old hipster with his beard,stupid arm sleeve tattoo and backwards baseball hat calls him Garry.
It's time to call him Gary again. https://youtu.be/ixiYZ9DPk8o
Surely.
"Don't call me Shirley."
Who is this Gary character?

Retired guy here. Sounds like something I have read, 40, 30,and 20 years ago. This is not new to the CPD
If I saw Garry at breakfast, I would ignore him, and pretend not to notice.
I would certainly respect his rank, but without the "sir".Yes,No,Thank You.
He is a douche.
No, my first name ain't '"baby"....its Garry. Mr McCarthy if you're nasty....
I know the guy from 189 and let me tell you Garry would have whooped his ass all over the place. I know that sucks but it is a factual. Imagine that then Harry would be running his mouth on how bad he beat a mental midget?!?!?!

Just a bit of mindless trivia - Stanley Kubrick originally hired R. Lee Ermey (GySgt Hartman) as a technical advisor for the film, but after seeing his ability to write and improvise most of his own dialog, decided to cast him in the actual role. Ermey was noted for his ability to do a scene in only a few takes - something that apparently is rare for films directed by Kubrick.
I still go to youtube and watch the Hartman "highlights". Particularly hilarious is the singing of Happy Birthday to Jesus on Christmas.
The only other performance I consistently find funny is Bill Murray as Carl Spackler in "Caddyshack". The Dalai Lama bit is priceless, as well as the Baby Ruth candy bar in the swimming pool (now there's some trivia - see how many people know what kind of candy it was.)
Sorry for the OT rambling SCC. I'll shut up now.
"Leadership 101, Respect is earned. Not by being a drunk obnoxious morally bankrupt skirt chaser."
Are kilts skirts? Anyone from Mount Greenwood wanna chime in?
What the hell is an asshat?!
If he ever feels a need to hear confession again, the hole in the handicapped shit stall has been unplugged.
One of the greatest generals of WWII was Erwin Rommel. His troops would call out "Erwin" to him when they saw him. He had no problem with that. They would die for him. Leadership respect is earned.

Yep, that covers it.
Who cares boss? Don't care anymore pay me and fellow officers, pay the pension this boss nonsense is to much! The kids being promoted have no clue, so Much dissension back each other up nothing else matters!
Apparently the hoards of sex offenders who line up at HQ everyday don't mind calling out his name either.

Here I thought his name was Larry, no wonder he's pissed.
"Yo, what's shaking, Larry?"
Now I know what the look from hell was for.
Ok, it's Supt for now on......
Betcha McEgo watches "Blue Bloods" & thinks he's cuter than Tom Sellek. Probably wants blue shirts to come to attention & salute like they do on the TV show so he can say "as you were" !! Hey Garry, will your next position be "el jefe" on Fantasy Island? Take Rahm with you & he can be "Tatu". DE PLANE DE PLANE !!! {bell ringing}
Only call people I like by their first name
If he doesn't want to be called GARRY then he should change his first name.
I hear a lot of people have taken the name Mohammad.
Mohammad McCarthy, has a nice ring to it.
Call him bawanna!
If I'm not mistaken, there may be a CALEA standard that prohibits the use of first names. I think he is just trying to get us in compliance.
I propose anyone seeing him out in public calls him Larry or Harry.
Baby Ruth

THIS is what you find to nitpick about? How petty.
I retired the year he got the job. I have only (ever) encountered him after I retired, either in a restaurant or at a friend's award ceremony.
You need a hobby.
I don't call McLush "Sir" I would only call him "Superintendent" Like saying "here ma'am" or "here sir" to a boss I do not respect. I don't do it, rather use their rank, "here Lt" etc.
Maybe. But, name one superintendent in the past 25 years who was better and did a better job? Really???? Everyone of the last 5. This asshole has no Fuckin Clue!!!! You really think he is the best, God I HOPE you are not on the job, because you must really be drinking that kool aid if you are!
my 4 yr old grandson come up with a name out of the blue for my neighbors cat he called the cat Garry and it was the funniest shit
I guess even a 4 yr old knows a pussy when he sees one

The last leader I would've died for on the streets of Chiraq was Captain Danny Gleason.
Now there was a leader!
Arrogance confuses compliance with loyalty, rank with quality and intensity with talent
Don't call him anything. If you see the guy just ignore him. Sir is a term of respect and Superintendent is a title which in this case is unearned. He's not a friend so why call him by name? Just ignore him and go on about your day. If he's out eating or drinking or shopping or anything else for that matter just ignore him and go on about your business. There is no need to acknowledge his existance. Even at work, unless he walks up to you just say hello without acknowledgement. Just because he's in the building or on a scene or at an event you're working doesn't mean you have to run up and greet him. Just ignore him.
Why do Chicago Police Officers always hate their Superintendent?
What's with nobody displaying a beat tag and not wearing their hats outside their cruiser?

Still out here asking all the wrong questions eh?
Why do Chicago Police Superintendents always hate their Officers?
Or better still...
Why do Chicago Mayors hate (and disdain/demean) their Police Officers?
Why do they feel this is such a good policy to pursue?
C'mon...
Ask the right questions why don't cha?
Jeez...

Because since Fred Rice, they have been no fucking good.
Inspectors write up the lowly beast officer for a goatee but do not write up the XO or supervisor that conducted roll call for failure to write up the officer .
Officer should receive an admonishment , supervisor a day .
Why you ask because if a stupervisor told us to shave or tie up my pony tail , we wouldn't be written up .
Who checks the GPS of INPECTORS ? Do INSPECTORS swipe in and out ?
Just for the sake of argument, and out of curiosity, have all past Superintendents been on a first name basis with the cops he commands?
I could see if the person addressing him had some sort of closer relationship with him, or was of a higher rank, but I can't recall ever addressing any officer when I was serving in the Army as anything but "sir" or Lt/Capt/Maj/etc so and so.
The only exception would be if the ranking officer asked to be addressed by their first name, usually in a more casual, off duty setting, which was the case one afternoon when I ran into one of my Warrant Officers at a local hotel bar after he'd finished a round of golf.

WTF!!! Was there more than one Captain Danny Gleason?
Because the Captain Danny "The Troll" Gleason I knew was no leader and you would have died BECAUSE of him not for him.
I remember the first words he said at our midnight roll call, "My name is Captain Gleason, and I don't want to be here." Things went downhill from there. I could go on but it is not right to talk of the dead.
Over a very long career I worked with the best and the worst and I learned from all of them.
A good leader can lead his men into hell.
A great leader will leader his men back out.
Sir?
No respect for him as a man.
Superintendent?
No respect for him as an alleged leader of men.
"Mr. Local Law Enforcement CEO"
would be a most correct title and a succinct summation
of his purpose for being here.
